Uncompact

Stop Claude Code compaction from making your AI stupid.

Uncompact hooks into Claude Code's lifecycle to reinject a high-density "context bomb" after compaction. It's powered by the Supermodel Public API and stores versioned project graphs locally in SQLite.

How It Works

Claude Code compaction occurs
         ↓
Stop hook fires → uncompact run
         ↓
Check local SQLite cache (TTL: 15 min)
         ↓ (cache miss or stale)
Zip repo → POST /v1/graphs/supermodel
         ↓
Poll for result (async job)
         ↓
Render token-budgeted Markdown context bomb
         ↓
Claude Code receives context via stdout

Claude Code Plugin

The fastest way to integrate Uncompact is via the Claude Code plugin system — no manual hook installation required.

Install the plugin

/plugin marketplace add supermodeltools/Uncompact
/plugin install uncompact@supermodeltools-Uncompact

This installs both hooks automatically:

• SessionStart — runs scripts/setup.sh which auto-installs the uncompact binary via go install if not already present.
• Stop — runs scripts/uncompact-hook.sh which reinjects context after every compaction event.

Note: After plugin installation, authenticate once with uncompact auth login to connect your Supermodel API key. That's it — no manual binary install or hook setup required.

CI / GitHub Actions

In remote environments (CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE=true), the hook automatically enables --fallback mode. Pass your API key via the SUPERMODEL_API_KEY environment variable:

env:
  SUPERMODEL_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.SUPERMODEL_API_KEY }}

Quick Start

1. Install

Via npm (recommended):

# Install CLI and automatically configure Claude Code hooks
npm install -g uncompact

Note: npm might hide the configuration output. You can verify the installation with uncompact verify-install.

Or run/install without global installation:

# This will show full interactive output
npx uncompact install

🗑 Uninstall

To remove the Claude Code hooks only:

uncompact uninstall

To completely remove Uncompact configuration and cached data:

uncompact uninstall --total

Note: After running the above, you can remove the CLI itself with npm uninstall -g uncompact.

Via Go:

go install github.com/supermodeltools/uncompact@latest

Or download a binary from Releases.

2. Authenticate

uncompact auth login

This opens dashboard.supermodeltools.com/api-keys/ where you can subscribe and generate an API key.

3. Install Claude Code Hooks

uncompact install

This auto-detects your Claude Code settings.json, shows a diff, and merges the hooks non-destructively.

4. Verify

uncompact verify-install
uncompact run --debug

CLI Reference

uncompact auth login             # Authenticate via dashboard.supermodeltools.com
uncompact auth status            # Show auth status and API key validity
uncompact auth logout            # Remove stored API key

uncompact install                # Merge hooks into Claude Code settings.json (with diff preview)
uncompact install --dry-run      # Preview changes without writing
uncompact verify-install         # Check if hooks are correctly installed

uncompact run                    # Emit context bomb to stdout (used by the hook)
uncompact run --debug            # Show debug output on stderr
uncompact run --force-refresh    # Bypass cache and fetch fresh from API
uncompact run --max-tokens 1500  # Cap context bomb at 1500 tokens
uncompact run --fallback         # Emit minimal static context on failure

uncompact dry-run                # Preview context bomb without emitting it
uncompact status                 # Show last injection, cache state, auth status
uncompact logs                   # Show recent injection activity
uncompact logs --tail 50         # Show last 50 entries
uncompact stats                  # Token usage, cache hit rate, API call count

uncompact cache clear            # Clear all cached graph data
uncompact cache clear --project  # Clear only the current project's cache

Configuration

Environment Variables

Variable	Description
SUPERMODEL_API_KEY	Supermodel API key (overrides config file)

Config File

Located at ~/.config/uncompact/config.json (Linux/macOS) or %APPDATA%\uncompact\config.json (Windows).

{
  "api_key": "your-api-key-here",
  "base_url": "https://api.supermodeltools.com",
  "max_tokens": 2000
}

CLI Flags (Global)

Flag	Default	Description
--api-key		Override API key
--max-tokens	2000	Max tokens in context bomb
--force-refresh	false	Bypass cache
--fallback	false	Emit minimal static context on failure
--debug	false	Debug output to stderr

Manual Hook Installation

If uncompact install doesn't work for your setup, add this to your Claude Code settings.json:

{
  "hooks": {
    "Stop": [
      {
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "uncompact run"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

See the Claude Code hooks guide for more details.

Caching Strategy

Concern	Policy
Default TTL	15 minutes
Stale cache	Served with ⚠️ STALE warning; fresh fetch attempted
API unavailable	Serve most recent cache entry silently
No cache + API down	Silent exit 0 (never blocks Claude Code)
Storage growth	Auto-prune entries older than 30 days
Force refresh	--force-refresh flag

Context Bomb Design

The context bomb is capped at --max-tokens (default: 2,000) to avoid triggering the very compaction it's trying to prevent. Sections are rendered in priority order:

1. Required (always included): Project overview, language, stats
2. Optional (filled to token budget): Domain map, key files, dependencies

Fallback Chain

1. Fresh cache hit → serve immediately
2. Cache miss / stale → fetch from API → cache result
3. API fails + stale cache exists → serve stale with warning
4. API fails + no cache → silent exit 0 (or minimal static if --fallback)

KPIs

Metric	Target
Clarifying questions per session (proxy for context loss)	↓ after Uncompact
Post-compaction task completion rate	↑ after Uncompact
Token efficiency (useful tokens / injected tokens)	> 80%
7-day retention	% of users who keep hooks enabled
